David William McKeague (born November 5, 1946 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is a federal judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
McKeague received a B.A. from the University of Michigan in 1968, and his J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School in 1971. He began his career in private practice in Lansing, Michigan until 1992, when President George H.W. Bush appointed him to a federal district judgeship on the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan. He remained on that bench until his confirmation to the Sixth Circuit.
On November 8, 2001, McKeague was nominated by President George W. Bush to a seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit vacated by the Judge Richard Fred Suhrheinrich, who had taken senior status the previous summer. On the same day, Bush also nominated Henry Saad and Susan Bieke Neilson to Michigan seats on the Sixth Circuit. On June 26, 2002, Bush nominated Richard Allen Griffin to a fourth Michigan seat on the Sixth Circuit. During the Democrat-controlled 107th Congress, all four nominations were stalled in the Senate Judiciary Committee by then chairman, Senator Patrick Leahy, D-VT.
